The 2011 Domaine Coche-Dury Meursault Caillerets is a Chardonnay hailing from the esteemed region of Burgundy, specifically the Cote de Beaune sub-region in France. This white wine originates from the Les Caillerets sub-appellation, produced by the notable Domaine Coche-Dury.

The 2011 vintage has garnered significant praise from professional reviewers, indicating its high quality and appeal. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate rated this wine a notable 94 points. Reviewer William Kelley described it as offering "aromas of crisp stone fruit, ripe lemon and white currants mingled with notions of freshly baked bread and buttery pastry." He further elaborated that it is "medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny," with a "racy, layered and concentrated" profile that concludes with a "long, saline finish." Kelley also highlighted that Coche-Dury excelled in the 2011 vintage, noting that "his wines are still going from strength to strength while other producers' are tiring."

Vinous reviewer Stephen Tanzer also provided a favorable review, awarding the wine 92 points. Tanzer noted its "pale, bright yellow" color and described the nose as having "peach and spicy oak." He found the wine to be "sweet, fleshy and rather opulent," with a "fine-grained texture and superb concentration." Despite some challenges faced by the vines due to a late June heat spike, Tanzer remarked that he didn't find the wine "obviously marked by heat." He also mentioned that the wine was aged in 30% new oak, contributing to its refined complexity.

In summary, the 2011 Domaine Coche-Dury Meursault Caillerets is a well-regarded Chardonnay that presents a blend of ripe fruit, subtle oak, and a refined, complex structure. Both Kelley and Tanzer's reviews highlight the wine's concentration, texture, and balanced finish, making it a standout choice for enthusiasts of high-quality Burgundy Chardonnay.
